Born Under the Stars

I caught myself throwing my
Hands in the air
Not because I was at a party
Because I was at a loose end

It's one things trying to make ends meet
In the concrete jungle
It's another matter when our leaders won't
Lead us out of deep trouble

We live in cities now
But we were born under the stars
And it don't take much
To remember who you are

Gotta love the gun shots in the morning
While I make my coffee
Another reminder we're flying
Down the rabbit hole
Not stopping

I stopped switching on the news
A long time ago
I'd rather that my black gold didn't
Taste so bitter anymore

We live in cities now
They are all the same
We live in cities now
Sex and a lotta games
We live in cities now
But we were born under the stars
And it don't take much
To remember who you are

We don't care if you're Julius
Cesar
Things would be a lot sweeter
If your gold digging
Ways would
Just calm down

Can't you see what you do to us
Julius
Isn't it clear enough's enough?
We wanna see you on the streets
Cleaning up this town

We live in cities now
They are all the same
We live in cities now
Sex and a lotta games
We live in cities now
But we were born under the stars
And it don't take much
To remember who you are

We don't care if you're Julius
Cesar
Things would be a lot sweeter
If your gold digging
Ways would
Just calm down

Can't you see what you do to us
Julius
Isn't it clear enough's enough?
We wanna see you on the streets
Cleaning up this town

We live in cities now
But we were born under the stars
And it don't take much
To remember who you are
